We all know what is right and what is wrong. It is clearly defined and we know it in the hearts of our hearts. Truth always consumes us in the end, to do the right thing...even if it means to let go of someone or something we love. Sometimes we listen to it, sometimes we kill it and sometimes it kills us. We either learn to live in regret or learn to live in the conditions and rules set for us.
Life is about perception.

Inertia
Inertia is what keeps me stagnant. It gives me comfort where I am at, and keeps me there. It does not allow me to move forward. I always feel that if I don't move forward, I will never know what is in store for me. It will not build me. I would however be there until and unless a greated force moves me.
Poeple who chase their dreams are sometimes mocked at if their pursuit fails, but those who become successful are hailed for their trajectory and visionary ambitions, be it either way it is those who move and challenged their inertia, who challenged their comfort zone and moved ahead to a new venture. Fail or pass, lessons were learnt and that helps with personal growth. That cultivates wisdom. Cultivating wisdom is a hidden agenda, we acquire it in every aspect of life, some more than others. Some people refer to this as building character. However to me it is more than that, it is acquiring the unknown qualities that cannot be acquired from a book, or bought with money. It comes with personal experiences, be it those you seek or those landing on your lap.
This blog has become my inertia. I am posting after two years. I had a vision for this site, and now it is alone lost. I am going to go againt my inertia to build this dream again.

Liquid Stages of Life
From a wide perspective, life seems almost like a comedy. Is our existence of life as simple as the picture, yet with a deep profound meaning.Labels: Questions

Sweet Faced Criminals
I believe that the purpose of human beings is to take care of each other, to nurture each other and complement each other. But not everyone is able to do that properly, thus each one of us are surrounded by a group of people who aid us in our development and sometimes under-development.
Instead we destroy each other, each trying to survive from the other. We form excuses and ideas to justify our action, so that we don’t feel guilty when we hurt the other person. Each one is an individual and yet we are so connected. We work on the individuality to set us apart from others; in return we learn to become better at one thing or another. We work hard at harnessing it to its full potential so that we are admired by our colleague and family members. During that time when we are busy harnessing that, we loose some things along the way. We cultivate a culture of nonchalance; using God as our ally.
When often try to acquire too much without understanding or comprehending it, we tend to break rules of nature. By breaking these rules, we start stumbling. This is when we make the silliest of mistakes, so unmatched to our standing or status. Due to our mistakes we may affect others who are innocent or naïve, and change their lives. This is a crime so unseen and unprotected. We become sweet faced criminals, worst form of terrorism to mankind!

Boundary
I am sitting in a plane, traveling across the globe in a 25 hour journey. As I am waiting for the journey to start, I wait in anticipation who is the person I would be sitting with. It is like fate that that person shares everything you do with you…eat with you, sleep with you (lol..sounds weird!) and share that little space with you. If you are sitting in the middle then you have 2 people, one on your left and one on your right.
The boundary set by the airlines, the limited space, the type of food served, the timings of the food, and the usage of the small and compact bathroom is so carefully crafted and determined for us. We have no say in anything, except perhaps the seating arrangements, provided we did early booking of the ticket. We must at that point conform to the guidelines set by the airlines if we were to reach that destination we journey on.
Isn’t life like this? Aren’t we too on a journey? We live in boundaries set for us. Then we try to expand our boundaries. In the process we experience joy and sorrow, and we move on. Don’t the people we anticipate and sit next to us on the plane similar to the relationships we foster in this lifetime. Some great mathematician up there uses an algorithm that mathematically bounds us to those around us for a purpose. Isn’t life simply fascinating!

Pain : Physical Vs Emotional
Physical pain is easier to see than emotional pain. It is easier to define, understand, and usually the proof would be in front of you, but what about the emotional pain? If someone has a broken leg, we can pretty much imagine the pain. But what about the emotional pain? How can we measure that? Do we measure the tear drops, or can we judge by the gloom on the face? Is there such thing as the level of gloominess?
I think emotional pain is so hard to see, and that people should be giving this a priority than physical pain, because something can usually be done about physical pain. Emotional pain is funny because it plunges at you when you don't need it, and spoils the chances of enjoying that moment the person is in. Time is lost because of emotions. And women carry much more than men. I find that this is not taken care of as much as it should be, and that is why there is a distinct difference between a man and woman.
Men on the other hand are better masters of their emotions. Of course this may not be true in all cases, but this is my general assumption. There are always exceptions to theories. My proposal is that if women are taught better to handle their emotional pain and men to better demonstrate their emotional pain, the lack of understanding between the two species can be minimized. Perhaps women need to speak less and men more.
